Molybdenum rod has a high melting point, Molybdenum is also used in steel alloys for its high corrosive resistance and weldability. molybdenum contributes further corrosion resistance to type-300 stainless steel specifically type-316) and especially so in the so-called super austentic stainless steels (such as alloy al-6xn, 254smo or 1925hmo). molybdenum acts by increasing lattice strain, thus increasing the energy required to dissolve out iron atoms from the surface. molybdenum can also be used to enhance the corrosion resistance of ferritic (for example grade 444) and martensitic (for example 1.4122 and 1.4418) stainless steels molybdenum dusts and fumes, which can be generated by mining or metalworking, can be toxic, especially if ingested (including dust trapped in the sinuses and later swallowed).low levels of prolonged exposure can cause irritation to the eyes and skin. direct inhalation or ingestion of molybdenum and its oxides should be avoided regulations specify the maximum permissible molybdenum exposure in an 8-hour day as 5 mg/m3. chronic exposure to 60 to 600 mg/m3 can cause symptoms including fatigue, headaches and joint pains.
